Guess I read Yang wrong, I thought he was pretty thirsty to get to the Big Kids table. Good on him.

Yang is old enough to recall getting knocked on ass during STQ and knows when to fall back.
One thing that bugs the sh*t out of me is why someone like Yang can't explain to me why he isn't a conservative. Does he really believe a massive intrusive "progressive" government will make better decisions for the average joe than a limited government? Government by it's very nature (human) is an institution subject to corruption and will function to increase the power and leverage of the government and those who run it or are employed by it. If only some saint, like Yang, were in charge then everything would be just swell? Every US government institution is corrupt and could care less about their ostensible reason for existence. Educate our kids? Nope. Defend our country? Nope. Protect us from infectious disease? Nope. When free sh*t for everyone is your idea of progress, you are deranged. When you believe that Universal Basic Income will terminate all other welfare programs, that is intellectual infantilism. Just like Milton Friedman's belief that the Earned Income Credit would replace welfare. It just became a huge government welfare program with no accountability and subject to massive fraud abetted by the government.
Things that make you say, "Like duh".

The Stupid Party Realizes the Chamber of Commerce Is In a Political Alliance With the Left-Wing -- Five Years After It Was Obvious to Everyone Else

@JakeSherman
NEWS in @PunchbowlNews this AM: House GOP leadership has booted the @USChamber from its strategy calls on reconciliation.
This is a major statement, and represents a break up between the Chamber and House Rs.

@MZHemingway
And only five years after such a move would have been obvious and only a year after the Chamber of Commerce openly admitted they were electorally allied with Democrats. Nothing gets past these guys!

¿da fuq? Have you not read his policy platform?
So, what are his conservative positions? Honest question A conservative position on public education would be to ban teacher unions and tuition vouchers. A conservative position isn't government health care.

A conservative position IS, however, a Public Option. Conservatives believe in market competition and forces, which include the widest variety of options, including the bargain basement public option plan.
Too Bad Obama and Biden don't believe in a public option, either. It could bring prices down for everyone.
Great 5 minute video by Sharyl Atkinson's Full Measure about an Oklahoma doctor treating his patients for one low fee for basic services like joint replacements. Just like lasik surgery, breast implants or lipo suction which are very competitive. You see more ads for lipo suction than joint replacements for some reason. Get some competition and you get better procedures and lower costs. Note that Trump wanted to make hospital pricing more competitive and the industry hated him for it.
Big Pharma, hospitals and the insurance industry have made big bribes[/s] contributions to political campaigns over the years. They want ROI on the money that they've wired to foreign bank accounts[/s] contributed to their candidates.

To be clear, the public option is an alternative to for-profit healthcare Insurance[/i], not on the performance and delivery side.
As you know about insurance, the real demons are the bean-counters who whittle away services to reap large profits for their companies, one fucked-over subscriber at a time.
